Anthony Fowler and Joe Joyce are named as part of Great Britain's nine-man boxing squad for next month's inaugural European Games in Baku.

Anthony Fowler and Joe Joyce have been named as part of a nine-strong men's boxing team that Great Britain will take to the inaugural European Games in Baku next month.

Middleweight Fowler and super-heavyweight Joyce both won gold at last summer's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and will aim to become the first ever European Games champions in Azerbaijan this June.

The event in Baku will act as a chance to qualify for the World Championships in Qatar later this year, which in turn will give the fighters an opportunity to reach next year's Olympic Games in Rio.

"It is a great achievement to be selected to be part of Team GB and I am really looking forward to competing at the European Games," Joyce told reporters.

"It is part of the pathway for Olympic qualification so it is an important tournament and all of us in the boxing team will be looking to do our best and making a good start on the road to Rio."

The women's boxing team was announced last month and includes Olympic champion Nicola Adams, as well as world champion Savannah Marshall.

Great Britain men's boxing team for European Games in Baku: Harvey Horn; Muhammad Ali; Qais Ashfaq; Luke McCormack; Sam Maxwell; Josh Kelly, Anthony Fowler; Joshua Buatsi; Joe Joyce
